Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 46 (1/2)

Chapter 46

Following the purple pearl, I went out of the boundaries of Lu Hua Mountain. My heart felt strange. It’s just a missing mortal soul of Chu Kong. How can it run so fast? Chasing till midnight, I felt a faint burst of a demon’s energy coming at me.

I once heard Yue Lao say that there is deer-horse like demon who eats scattered souls. Could it be that Chu Kong’s soul……has been eaten by this guy!

My heart was frightened. I sped up my cloud and went straight into the sky. I fly to the demon. The deer-horse demon looks like it can endure a thing or two. With shaking head, he hurried to me. It felt like he is in joy. If you think about it, it’s right. A demon that only eats souls can be that powerful. At this point, I don’t know what he is chewing and wants to gulp it down to his stomach.

The purple pearl hanging on my neck, brightened. My heart became ruthless. I shouted: “Spit it out!”

I kicked the deer-horse demon severely on the side. This kick came suddenly, the demon screamed loudly. Many souls flew out of his mouth. The souls drifted away with the wind. I immediately chased the souls that were drifting away. The deer-horse demon behind me chased after me while screaming. I don’t have a mind to mind about him. I followed the purple pearl and rapidly chased after the souls.

A scattered immortal soul can float really fast. It didn’t take long before I caught up. I read the spell to collect the immortal soul. Chu Kong’s immortal soul obediently went into the purple pearl. The horse-deer demon also sounded in my ears. I dodged sideways and didn’t want to fight with him. I raised my hand and said: “Cloud come.”

The cloud of the midnight rapidly came to me. The cloud wrapped the deer-horse demon in the direction of the sky and the sun. The sunlight blinded the deer-horse demon. I turned around and ran away and left him far behind me.

I clutched the purple pearl. In the dark, I finally returned to Lu Hua Mountain. I followed the dark road and walked home. The closer I came to the wooden house I made, the more profound the depressed feeling became. The words that meatball Kong said before he left the house echoed in my ears. He doesn’t want to cultivate. He doesn’t want to become the celestial Chu Kong of the past. He…..only want to live freely in the human realm.

Since he has already said that, what significance does the thing I do now have? Using all my power to search for the souls he doesn’t want. Using my best efforts to teach him cultivation……

I suddenly have a shame that will leave my face hot and my a.s.s cold.

I looked up at the moon in the sky. I turned and walked in the direction of the forest of Lu Hua mountain.

In the day the little demons of Lu Hua Mountain have been beaten by me. In the night a lot disappeared. All the way I only heard insects. Unconsciously I walked to lake of the mountain. I looked at the other side of the lake and was lost in thoughts. How many years ago when I was a tiger did a wild boar appeared on the other side of the lake and quietly stared at me……

Even in such a depressed mood now, when I thought about that scene, I laughed with a “pu” sound. I laughed alone at the lake while stomping my feet. But the night was really too cold, letting me gradually close my mouth.

That Chu Kong……who bicker and fight with me, maybe will never come back.

I lowered my eyes. My mood was difficult to describe.

I walked up along the side of the lake. The sound of the lake tinkled in my ears. The sound of the water made me feel somewhat lively and cheerful. I find a place with grace and sat down. I quietly stared at the sky full of stars. For the first time I felt that the future is confusing. If I am not obsessed with Chu Kong anymore, then what should I go do? What were the days like before I met Chu Kong? I actually couldn’t remember it anymore.

The purple pear brightened. I hold it. Today I found Chu Kong’s immortal soul. If I give him this immortal soul back to him, there’ll only be a mortal soul left before his soul is completed. If by that time, his thought is still the same as now……

I’ll go back to Yue Lao and continue to watch the doors for him.

While I was thinking like that, suddenly I heard a voice sobbing on the other side of the lake. This sound is so familiar to me. I looked and saw meatball Kong standing at the edge of the other side of the lake with a face full of tears and snot. Facing the moonlight making his face sparkling, I saw him crying so pitifully. I was startled.

I stood up and called: “Chu Kong, you……” Why aren’t you staying home? Why did you come here?

I haven’t even asked when the meatball Kong at the other side cried with a hoa.r.s.e voice: “Wu wa! Xiao Xiang! Wu wa!”

He cried so pitifully, making me take half a step back. Because this child has a crippled soul since small, his reactions are relatively slow. So he didn’t show many feelings. This sudden burst of him can’t help but make me alarmed.

He saw me take a step back and looked more panic stricken. He didn’t care and stepped into the lake and ran staggering to me. He didn’t wait for me to help him and plummeted in front of me. With a body full of cold water, he rushed to me. The water wet my shoes. The meatball who isn’t tall enough, stretched his hand and hugged my waist. He head glued to my belly. He began to cry out: “Don’t go, Chu Kong is wrong. Chu Kong won’t make you angry anymore and won’t go down the mountain to play anymore! I am wrong!”

I froze for a long time: “Did the demons on the mountain come and beat you out of revenge when I was away?”

His face rubbed twice against my belly, making me full of snot.

“You’re an immortal, wu……Da Hua said you went away and went to heaven to be a free and happy immortal…….you’ll live very happily, and……and will never come back! You wouldn’t want me anymore……wu wu.”

His voice was m.u.f.fled and mixed with hoa.r.s.eness. I heard vaguely what he said. I was startled, hesitated and said: “I just went to catch a demon.”

Meatball Kong hugged me tighter: “Xiao Xiang, don’t run away with the demon.”

I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. When I could react again, my heart felt warm. I don’t know what kind of nerves has been satisfied. It slowly pulled my mouth up.
